Today we went to church. It was a nice Russian church that had a similar format to ours back in the states. The preacher spoke about David and his love for God. It was a good message, but hard to understand because of the poor translation. I was also thinking about how I feel very comfortable here already. I was thinking about how I feel that way because I know that my real home is in heaven and it shouldn’t really matter where I am here on earth.. After church the people invited us to have tea with them as a sort of initiation into their church. It was great!
After church we went to an Italian restaurant. I had spaghetti and it was delicious! Then our whole group went to Andy’s place and talked about events we will help host. We learned a lot about each member of our team and are getting along great!
So I had a lot of free time these first couple days.. so I could write a lot, but I will try to update you with the most important stuff once a week or so!

Hi, Kelsey,
ReplyDeleteTook me a while to figure out how this blog stuff works! Hopefully this will get through. Jerry and I were glad to hear from your dad that you arrived safely after traveling about 4 days. I just read your blog update and sounds like you're keeping busy and trying to learn some Russian so you can converse better. Not so sure about the machine guns in a supermarket, though. Weird!! Shop carefully!! :-) I'll be looking forward to reading more about your trip. Stay safe! Love, Aunt Bev
